About the Artwork

THE INDIE

Atlantic Heights by John Margolies is a stunning piece of photography that captures the essence of Atlantic City, New Jersey in the late 1970s. The photograph features a Sky Tower base and Central Pier, both iconic landmarks of the city. The high resolution of the image allows for intricate details to be seen, from the texture of the pier to the reflection of the tower in the water below.

Margolies' use of a - and lens at - shutter speed and ISO-- film speed and f/- aperture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the photograph. The contrast between the dark shadows and bright highlights adds to the drama of the scene, while the composition draws the viewer's eye towards the tower and pier. The photograph is a testament to Margolies' skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday objects and places.

As a lover of art, I find Atlantic Heights to be a captivating piece that transports me to a different time and place. The photograph is a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the mundane and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. Whether displayed in a home or office, Atlantic Heights is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for years to come.
